Synopsis

This collection of letters between WWII Navy Pilot Albert B. Southwick and his family back at Maple Hill Farm in Leicester, Massachusetts spans February to June, 1942. Young Albert details his experiences first at the Naval Training Station in Newport, Rhode Island, then at the Naval Air Base Station Service School in Jacksonville, Florida. The entire collection, some of it written in rhyming verse by Albert's father Nathan Marshall Southwick, recalls a bygone era when written correspondence was a carefully crafted art form. Footnotes added by Albert's daughter Martha Jean Southwick illuminate many of the references. This revised first volume of his WWII letters includes 45 images. Font size: 14 points.
